Update July 19th: Once again, eerily similar to last week and the week before, there were no winners in this week's drawings. Thus all bets stay in place, all betting addresses stay the same, all games move on to the next round, and the new target blocks are 137001, 137002, and 137003, which should occur in roughly one week! I'm sure you're all hoping that a winner happens soon. I sure am! I'm sure it'll sound rude of me to ask, but if we get some more bets in in the games, there's more of a chance of a winner. I'd put some bets in to get it flowing, but I don't want to come off as inappropriate. Full drawing results available here: http://www.btclottery.com/results/week9.phpCurrent Jackpots: Match1 - .3 (bet is .1) Match2 - .8 (bet is .1) Match6 - .46 (bet is .01) Good luck everyone! |

Update July 28th: Congrats to the owner of address 1BNdd9FbyPKxtTKcaS2JC5ZTfxcbTqFXU4, who was the sole winner of the Match1 Game, winning 0.49 btc (almost 5x his bet)! <a href=http://blockexplorer.com/tx/fefdbd49dded8feb11418b18ec5a31338cbcfde28dbe40a520cefd96335eb3d2#o1 target=_blank>Proof of payment can be found here</a>. The Match1 game will reset with a new betting address, while the Match2 and Match6 games will move on to the next round, with all bets staying in place, and all previous bets remaining. <a href=http://www.btclottery.com/results/week10.php target=_blank>Click here</a> to see the full results from all three games. In an effort to sweeten the pot and attract more bets in the games, I will be adding 1 btc to each pot. They have sat for too long with a total prize pool under 1 btc, so it's overdue for me to step it up a little. Remember, you can bet as many times as you like, just be sure to send your bets in individual transactions. Full drawing results available here: http://www.btclottery.com/results/week10.phpCurrent Jackpots: Match1 - 1.0 (bet is .1) Match2 - 1.8 (bet is .1) Match6 - 1.46 (bet is .01) Good luck everyone! |

Update August 29th: There were no winners in this week's drawings. Click here to see the full results from all three games. This week we are ending all games and refunding each and every bet. Please refer to the front page of btclottery.com for updates and forthcoming proof of each returned bet. We hope that within a week's time we will be able to bring you an exciting new bitcoin lottery experience with bigger weekly action and bigger payouts than we have ever had before.
We realized this week that since we started this site in May, there has not been a winner in 2 of our 3 games. Neither the Match 2 or Match 6 has paid out, and each week only 2-5 bets are made. This can hardly be called "action" and the bitcoins are just sitting there yawning. So we decided to end these games, and overhaul the system. Starting within a week we will be bringing you a new pick-3 game, similar to the pick-3 games in most US state lotteries. Here is a brief rundown on what to expect from the games, (be aware any or all of this could change before we re-launch): - Each Week, our target block will be the first bitcoin block that begins after midnight EST every Monday morning. For example, if block 123000 is the first block to be solved after midnight on monday morning, then our target block for that week's drawing will be block 123001.
- The draw number will derive from the target block's hash number. The last three decimal digits in the hash number will be our draw number. For example, block 123001's hash number is 00000000000020bc3da483fd21f92f69eba87698826759d72bdf30e980da1f61. Thus our draw number would be 1-6-1.
- Each player's ticket number will derive from the transaction number from the bitcoin transaction that they send their bet in. Their ticket number is derived the same way the draw number is derived. For instance, when someone sends in their .1 btc bet, if their transaction number is e84d76630f7381a18ea678757a38fbe97ed4e3708f6a3dfb53f54219bd715d02, then their ticket number is 5-0-2.
- Each ticket number will be played for every prize possibility (Match 1, Match 2, Match 3-strait, Match 3-boxed), however if there is a winning ticket, only the largest applicable prize will be paid.
- Prizes will be paid out from lowest to highest.
- After each prize is paid out, all remaining tickets will be voided, and the remaining prize pool (if there still is one) will be seeded toward the next drawing, which will have it's own betting address.
- 2% rake.
- More details coming soon...
We take this venture very seriously, and really don't want to be closing any games down, but we feel it's become very stagnant, and feel this new game/method will bring more action and bigger prizes to the site. Again, please check the front page of btclottery.com for further updates and proof of refund for each bet as they appear in the blockchain. Thank you for your understanding, and thanks for playing! See you very soon! |

I have refunded all the bets from all three games, and have also created a page listing each bitcoin address of each bet, along with a link to the proof of refund for each bet. I hope this goes to show my good faith in this arena. I love running this site, and I also am really excited about the new pick-3 lottery we are going to be running starting next week.
